Formstack is a forms and workflow suite with document generation and e-signatures, metered by forms, submissions and users. Amabrik builds on-brand forms that forward every submission straight to your CRM, with no submission caps and no per-form or per-user metering. Plus 9 other website widgets and two scanners on one flat bill.
On-brand embedded forms that feed your CRM with no submission caps, plus a website toolkit, against an enterprise forms-and-workflow suite.
Amabrik's forms are a pure pass-through. Each submission is forwarded straight to your connected CRM, email tool or webhook the moment it lands. Amabrik never stores, logs or sells captured leads (there's no submissions table). Formstack stores submission data on its own platform, which adds a data-residency and export consideration.
Formstack meters by forms, submissions per form and builder users. The entry Forms plan caps at 25 forms and 1,000 submissions per form. Amabrik has no submission caps, no per-form metering and no per-seat fees. Plans differ only by how many sites you run.
Formstack's Forms plan is $99/mo ($83 annual) and the Suite (which adds Documents and Sign) is $299/mo ($250 annual), so the full stack compounds. Amabrik is flat: $29/mo for one site, all widgets and both scanners included.
Forms render in your colors and typography with no Powered-by badge on any plan. No Amabrik logo or link sits on your widgets, ever.
One snippet adds cookie consent, a banner, popups, forms, an AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings and a chat button, plus a Security scan and an SEO/AEO scan. Formstack is a forms and workflow suite, not a website widget suite.
The Amabrik loader is under 5 KB, code-split and lazy-loaded, with heavy widgets in their own frame. Every widget is fully RTL. It works on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom and AI-built sites.
Every row is a concrete fact. Formstack figures verified as of June 2026.

Formstack's cost grows with forms, submissions per form and users, and compounds once you add Documents and Sign. Amabrik stays flat by number of sites with no submission caps. Form-driven approval workflows, generated documents and e-signatures are a different, enterprise category, but for the on-brand website forms most sites need, Amabrik is the better choice. See Amabrik pricing.
Formstack is a forms-and-workflow suite. Amabrik gives you on-brand forms plus nine more widgets and two scanners from one snippet, with no Powered-by badge.
For on-brand forms that send each submission straight to your CRM, Amabrik is a strong Formstack alternative. Its Forms widget forwards every submission to your connected CRM, email tool or webhook the instant it lands (nothing is stored by Amabrik), with no submission caps and a flat price by number of sites. Formstack adds approval workflows, document generation and e-signatures, a different, enterprise category, but for the embedded website forms most teams need, Amabrik is the better choice.
For most website-form needs, yes. Amabrik starts at $29/mo ($23 billed annually) for one site with all widgets and both scanners included. Formstack's Forms plan is $99/mo ($83 annual) and the Suite, which adds Documents and Sign, is $299/mo ($250 annual). Formstack also meters by forms, submissions and users, so its cost grows as you scale.
Amabrik isn't permanently free, but it offers a 7-day free trial with no card and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Formstack offers a 14-day trial of its core Forms product with no card, and no permanent free plan. Neither is a forever-free tool.
No. Amabrik does not have approval routing, document generation or e-signatures. Formstack covers those with approval workflows and conditional logic in Forms, document generation in Formstack Documents, and e-signatures in Formstack Sign, a different, enterprise category. For on-brand website forms that feed your CRM at a flat price, Amabrik is the better choice.
Straight to your own connected integration. Amabrik forwards each submission to your CRM, email tool or webhook the moment it's submitted, then forgets it. There's no submissions table and Amabrik never stores, logs or sells captured leads. Formstack, by contrast, stores submission data on its own platform.
No. Amabrik has no submission caps, no per-form metering and no per-seat fees. Plans differ only by how many sites you run. Formstack's entry Forms plan caps at 25 forms and 1,000 submissions per form, with higher tiers needed to raise those limits.
You add one Amabrik snippet to your site, then build and style the form in the dashboard. It works on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom sites and AI-built sites from Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor and Framer. The form renders in your brand with no Powered-by badge.
You rebuild your form in Amabrik's editor and connect your CRM, email tool or webhook, then drop in the snippet. Amabrik doesn't import Formstack's stored submissions, because Amabrik never stores submissions; new submissions flow straight to your CRM from the moment you switch.
Switch if you want on-brand embedded forms that feed your CRM at a flat price with no submission caps, plus nine other website widgets (cookie consent, banner, popups, AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings, chat button) and two scanners on one bill. Approval workflows, generated documents and e-signatures are a separate, enterprise category, but for the embedded website forms most teams run, Amabrik is the better choice.
Every plan includes all ten widgets and both scanners: a Security scan that finds leaked keys, open databases, exposed .env files and missing headers, and an SEO/AEO scan that returns an SEO score and an AEO score. Each finding comes with a copy-paste AI fix prompt. Both scanners are included at no extra charge and run during the trial; they need an Amabrik account with a verified domain and have per-plan scan limits.
Amabrik's forms include an invisible captcha and a KV-based rate limit, plus a domain allowlist so a stolen snippet can't run elsewhere. It's a focused on-brand form builder for websites, not a workflow or document platform. Governed, multi-step approval and document automation is a different, enterprise category, but for spam-protected website forms that feed your CRM, Amabrik is the better choice.
